Embellishing with Beading Books
|
|
One Bead at a Time by
Robin Atkins. In this book, you will see how beads, creativity, and
healing are related. You will learn to stitch beads on fabric,
creating art work which is compelling, inspired, beautiful, fun, and
satisfying to make. You will discover ways to break through the walls of
doubt and criticism that prevent us from exploring our full artistic
potential. This book is about improvisational bead embroidery as a pathway
to greater creativity and source for personal healing. Intended to
inspire and to teach. The techniques of bead embroidery are well illustrated
with drawings, text, and photos with arrows pointing to the details of
specific techniques. The materials and steps for beginning a project are
fully described. For inspiration, see full-color photographs of more than
thirty bead embroidered works,
including purses and small bags, buttons, framed wall art, sculpture,
artist’s books, dolls, and medicine bags. Paperback, perfect
bound, 56 pages, 60 full-color photos

Beaded Embellishment
by Amy C. Clark and Robin Atkins. Rich on history and technique, this
definitive work by two leading beadworkers offers the first comprehensive
look at the vast opportunities for self-expression with beads on cloth.
Fabrics of all kinds—woven, non-woven, patterned, and plain, come
together with beads of all kinds—seed, bugle, art, and novelty. The
result is 10 stunning projects that both instruct and inspire. Four basic
foundation stitches and their variations are illustrated in careful
detail, and useful tricks of the trade abound for developing pattern and
image. A colorful gallery of work by contemporary bead artists offers
numerous ideas to inspire your own creations. Paperbound, 8 1/2 x 9,
128 pages, 70 color photographs, 50 line drawings, 2 charts.
